Born in Neuwied in 1985. Filmed her first horror movie with her identical
twin sister Monika Plura at the age of 11. At that time it was still on VHS,
the editing was analogue. Until they graduated from high school, they had
made over 70 films of all genres, from comedies and dramas to dark
psychological thrillers and stop-motion films.
Martina then went to the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, where she
studied “Media Arts”. It followed a year abroad at the “Escuela de Ciné y

among other things, by the North German western „1 PM NOON“, a
„FRIESLAND“ crime - thriller, several episodes of the series „LAST TRACK
